Line in Polygon

IanIrmischer

I have 200 polyline featureclasses.  Each feature class has about 2000 features.  I would like to add a new field to each line featureclass that states whether the majority or all of a line falls within a polygon.

Any ideas? I would like to automate this with python since I have so many features and feature classes.

Thanks,

Ian

I know my solution is somewhere around the overlay and spatial join tools.

I read that union was polygon to polygon so I don't think that will work

with my line.

As for intersection, the output is new features. And it cracks the lines

into new lines if only part of the line falls within the polygon. I just

want a Boolean response to whether the majority of a line segment falls

within the polygon.

Is there a way to choose the line if more than half of it falls within the

polygon? I am worried about a scenario where only part of the line falls

inside a lake.

Thanks,

Ian
